STUDY ABROAD OPEN ADVISING
EVERY TUESDAY beginning 3/2, 2pm-4pm, Higgins Annex 109
Living abroad and speaking a foreign language are skills that will greatly enhance your job prospects and graduate school applications. WCSU's exchange programs are affordable (in many cases, you pay only your regular WCSU semester tuition, room and board), and offer classes in all academic disciplines. All of your credits will transfer back, so you don't have to worry about not graduating on time. And most countries offer coursework in English.
Come to our walk-in advising hours to learn more about our study abroad programs, as well as scholarships and funding opportunities, internships, and work abroad. You can browse our resource room at your own pace or speak one-on-one with an advisor.
